Pumpkin Queen
“When the Queen of Halloween takes the throne, the night comes alive.”
Somewhere in a world where every night is Halloween, a most unusual queen presides over a gathering of wonderfully peculiar creatures.
Created by artist Bob Doucette, Pumpkin Queen invites you into a delightfully twisted fairytale filled with theatrical characters, mischievous spirits, and a touch of dark humour. At its centre sits the mysterious Pumpkin Queen, dressed in an elaborate orange gown, her piercing blue eyes watching over a celebration unlike any other.
But this is no ordinary royal court.
A quartet of black cats performs beneath her throne, while elegantly dressed skeletons join the festivities. Grinning jack-o'-lanterns illuminate the surrounding forest, and strange masks peer from the shadows. The Queen herself holds an assortment of bizarre faces, each seemingly waiting for its turn to join the masquerade.
Is this a royal Halloween celebration? A mysterious midnight performance? Or perhaps a gathering where every creature has a secret identity?
Whatever the occasion, one thing is certain: in the Pumpkin Queen's kingdom, nothing is quite what it seems.
Back Side – The Halloween Masquerade
Turn the puzzle over, and the Halloween festivities continue in an entirely different form.
The reverse side reveals an intricately engraved world filled with an extraordinary collection of Halloween-inspired characters and whimsical shapes.
Witches soar through the night on their broomsticks, accompanied by fluttering bats and playful ghosts. Dancing skeletons, mischievous jesters, grinning pumpkin-headed creatures, and mysterious black cats populate this enchanted gathering.
Look closer, and you'll discover even more surprises—a smiling crescent moon, eerie skulls, delicate spiderwebs, hanging lanterns, and an owl watching quietly from its perch. Every corner holds another curious character waiting to be discovered.
Many of these intricate figures become uniquely shaped wooden whimsies, transforming the puzzle into a miniature Halloween masquerade where each piece tells its own story.
With 300 uniquely shaped whimies and two completely different sides to explore, Pumpkin Queen is more than a puzzle. It is an invitation into Bob Doucette's wonderfully eccentric imagination—a place where Halloween never ends, the strange becomes beautiful, and every creature is welcome at the Queen's midnight celebration.

Let customers speak for us
The puzzle was delightful and relaxing. Not too easy and not too hard.
So much fun with all the crazy shaped pieces. Some of the side pieces that were very narrow were hard to get them to "drop" in place. My next puzzle is already on its way!
Loved this puzzle. The pieces are very intricate but fit together beautifully. Unlike most puzzles, this is one I’ll do again and again.
Absolutely gorgeous puzzle! I love everything about it.
Beautiful, high quality puzzle, one of my favorite brands
Beautiful puzzle, great colors, complex and challenging shape pieces. It’s very absorbing when you’re in the middle of it and satisfying to finish!
Really fun to do. The back side was even more challenging.
Beautiful pieces, cleverly cut and just the right difficulty level.
Loved the quality and the design
I am a veteran Palmaris puzzle Builder, so the quality and the craftsmanship is no surprise, as I already know what to expect with each new release that I order🧩👍!!
The Bear's Dream was such a delight to assemble, how the pieces fit together is very impressive to behold !!
I highly recommend this puzzle as your next wooden adventure 🧩👍!!
A joy to make from start to finish. Rich colours and detail in the artwork that emerges as you build. Such clever and complex design. And the bear’s face. Perfect for winter
This was such a fun and creative puzzle, with all the figure cutouts and interesting pieces in general. Once it was completed, I enjoyed recalling the different scenes from Alice in Wonderland. I look forward to working the back side, which offers a different puzzle based on all the figure cutouts.
I loved doing this puzzle. I wish you had more like it.
Best gift to give to someone. These puzzles are challenging and high quality.
Great puzzle lots of fun
